As for Americade most likely Friday & Saturday. I haven't made any plans but I have a few friends that are going to be there.

Laconia I have friends going there for most of the week so I guess it depends on how long they are staying.

So to answer you, yeap to both unless something unforesee happens.

I think I will be hitting Laconia on the 11th. I'll be heading up on the 1oth, doing the day on the 11th, then heading home that night.

All weather dependant.

Well It wasn't great :( Rain into rain twice on the way up, found the cottage and dropped my stuff off and then went to meet up with a friends in town. Well my buddy's wife had a migraine so she stayed at the RV for the night. The street were a little less that usual. We had dinner a mexican restaurant - my order was so-so but some other food I saw looked real good. So then we walked around a little meet up with a couple we knew and hung out for a little. Then it started to rain lightly so that was it for the night. That night I could hear it pouring out. Friday brought heavy misting so we hit the indoor tour expo and then it let up we headed out though there was heavy cloud cover. We got in some riding and rain thought a few rain showers. All in all the day wasn't to bad. I headed back out to town afterwards (9:30ish) and hung there till about 11 when it just started to rain - I got to my bike and took off it down poured - needless to say I got soaked. Saturday I took off to the ranch to do some demo's - Got on the ZX6R , Speed triple and then the ZX10R. The ZX14 was booked before I got there. I was impressed the ZX6 - we had a fast run :) The Speed Triple was OK just not my type and with the ZX10R, it was the last run of the day/event so there was another great ride. I had another friend come up so we went to the Tour Expo. I was going to hit town last night but had to come back to deal with some family problems :(
So if all works out I think i'm heading to Laconia on thursday but time will tell.
Due to the crappy weather I didn't take many picts. I'll post up a few later.
Didn't feel like img them here so here is a link to the album of some -- no women except for the nice jeans one. I just wasn't out at the right time :(
